I had something more generic in mind:

static void nand_bit_wise_majority(const void **srcbufs,
void *dstbuf,
unsigned int nbufs,
unsigned int bufsize)
{
...
}

And then you do the crc check in nand_flash_detect_onfi().

The reason I'm asking that is because I'm almost sure we'll re-use this
functions for extended param pages, and also for vendor specific data
(we already have a byte-wise majority check in the hynix driver, so I
wouldn't be surprised if other vendors decided to use a bit-wise
approach for some of their OTP area).
